RUSH: Roll Call magazine<\/a>: “Fiscal Diagnosis Only Gets Tougher for Health Care Law — In its latest report on the law, the Congressional Budget Office said it is no longer possible to assess the overall fiscal impact of the law.” That, again, is by design. Of course it\u2019s by design! This is the thing I\u2019ve been waiting for people to wake up and realize. Look, I\u2019m not trying to brag here. I don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Like Babe Ruth said, “It isn\u2019t bragging if you can do it.” I knew exactly what I was saying when I said, “I hope he fails.”<\/a> I knew this kind of stuff was gonna happen. I knew that there was going to be this kind of assault on this country. I knew there was gonna be an effort to expand the size and the role and scope of government in everybody\u2019s life, and I knew what that means also.<\/p>\n

That means less and less liberty and freedom for individuals.<\/p>\n

This was in the cards.<\/p>\n

There was no debating it. It was not arguable. Now, if you are on the Obama side of this, if you\u2019re on the Democrats\u2019 side, the “brilliance” (in quotes) of this is every problem you create is a problem that the American people are gonna demand be fixed. By who? By government. So government is going to continue to grow. It\u2019s gonna continue to be incompetent. It\u2019s gonna continue to be inefficient.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to continue to make messes out of everything that it does, and it\u2019s all going to happen with the American people demanding that it happen. This is what they knew. They\u2019re simply flooding the system. They are ensuring that the system doesn\u2019t work, whatever it is. The VA, the welfare system, the Medicare system, the health care system, they\u2019re ensuring that they do not work. There are too many demands.<\/line><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have any money!<\/p>\n

And as these things continue to fail, become more and more inefficient (i.e., don\u2019t work), the American people are gonna demand they be fixed, and they\u2019re not gonna demand that the Koch brothers fix it. They\u2019re not gonna demand that the private sector fix it. They\u2019ve been dutifully told that the private sector\u2019s to blame for all this. They\u2019re gonna demand that the compassionate, tolerant, ever-loving government fix the problem.<\/p>\n

So we have a snowball heading down the hill. It\u2019s growing and growing and growing, feeding off its own incompetence, evil, stupidity, whatever. It was all in the cards. So the CBO is giving up trying to predict any costs. Now, under normal circumstances, that would be bad news. Oh, no! Under normal circumstances 20 years ago, the reaction would have been, “All right, we\u2019ve got to tighten this down.<\/p>\n

“We have got to stop spending. We have got to get this put back in order.” That\u2019s not the reaction today. When the CBO says, “Oh, my God, it\u2019s gotten so out of control, we can\u2019t even calculate the costs,” the demand is for government to do something about it. And the only way government does anything is get bigger, to become more involved in things. Roll Call magazine: “Fiscal Diagnosis Only Gets Tougher for Health Care Law.”<\/p>\n

ABC News: “Obamacare Error Puts Two Million Enrollees in Jeopardy.” The bottom line to this one is, they can\u2019t square the information they think they\u2019ve got from two million people that enrolled for Obamacare. Two million people! (interruption) The honor system failed? Everything in the system failed. Two million people! They don\u2019t know whether they\u2019ve paid. They don\u2019t know who they are. They don\u2019t know anything.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n

Government\u2019s got to fix it!<\/p>\n

I was reading my tech blogs. Get this. These little bloggers are all excited, \u2019cause somebody put a news story out last week that HealthCare.gov is about to get fixed. They\u2019re just thrilled beyond their ability to keep their underwear up. You can just see them “dropping trou” out there. They\u2019re so excited over this, you can just see it as you read the words. They write about HealthCare.gov is finally about to get fixed.<\/p>\n

(whispering) It\u2019s a low, very, very quiet news story. HealthCare.gov has been undergoing major revisions and about to go back online totally fixed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
